Produktbeschreibung
This second edition text will provide updated information to professionals and students in fields relevant to cochlear implantation. The main objective of this book is to provide the latest information about pediatric candidacy evaluation, medical and vestibular evaluation, surgery, language and literacy outcomes, habilitation, spatial hearing, influence of family dynamics and educational needs. This text also expands upon newer indications including unilateral and asymmetric hearing loss, management of children with residual hearing, and management of children from families whose primary language is Spanish. Additional important new topics discussed include the role of interprofessional training to better serve children, the Australian hearing health care model to achieve early implantation and addressing global barriers to pediatric implantation.

Pediatric Cochlear Implantation is ideal for both trainees and practicing otolaryngologists, otologists/neurotologists, audiologists, speech language pathologists, psychologists and educators who work with deaf and head of hearing children.
